My Bloody Viking

What started out as this lovely Polwarth fiber from Southern Cross Fibre

Polwarth fiber

Turned into this mostly bulky n-ply yarn.
048
Why my bloody viking you ask? Well the colorway name is Eric, you know from Trueblood. It was always destined to be around my neck. ;)

Finally found a pattern to use my low amount of yardage with (136 yds)

It's the Mr. Cowl pattern by Dani Sunshine.
US 10 needles
9h x 9.5" wide
No mods. A great, easy pattern.


Still cold in the early mornings around here, so it's perfect.

Best part, it matches my Cashmere Leaves hat I knit. I lost the cowl I knit in the same aran cashmere yarn, so My Bloody Viking Cowl will do ;)
Matchy....almost matchy

Oh, and the secret I couldn't talk about, after 1.5 years of trying, I have found a full time job, M-F!! I start on the 11th. Not in x-ray, but still in the medical field using my first degree.  I now have 3 career fields I can use wherever we live.  Now to get used to working all week long and weekends off.....oh and the best part, NO more 3 am shifts!

Wonderful new on the job front! I'm so happy for you :-)

Love the bulky yarn and subsequent cowl. Did you plan to spin a bulky weight when you started? Or does it define itself?
